Running Adobe Lightroom 4.4 in Ubuntu 14.04

I use Adobe Lightroom 4.4 for photo editing. There is one very annoying aspect of this program, it is not available for Linux (only for Windows and Max OS X).

In order to run Lightroom on my computer, I had to use VirtualBox and install Windows 7 in it. This works, but is quite clumsy and annoying. And since Lightroom is the only reason for me to run Windows, I would like to get rid of it.

So I decided to try out Wine. The current version of Wine does not support Lightroom out of the box, but I found some patches and tricks which makes it work. This is how I did it, for Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit (might work in older versions as well).

It does not work better in Ubuntu via Wine than in plain Windows, and you cannot expect it to. I would say it works almost as good in Ubuntu via Wine. And it works better in Ubuntu via Wine than in Ubuntu via VirtualBox.

Hello Mikael,
I installed Wine and LR under Black Lab Xfce and all function albeit slowly.
I can not install Wine in mint 17.1 Mate. (14.04), by mistakes when I do not MAKE ….. Is there any other help?Mikael
